Abstract: Enterprise resource planning is one of the major set of modules of enterprise systems being implemented in various organizations across the globe. It seeks to standardize, streamline, and integrate the various operations and information flows in a company by synergizing its resources, that is, men, material, money, and machinery, through IT. ERP is one of the most advanced business management applications available in the market today and supports most of the business processes of manufacturing as well as service companies in a wide variety of industries. Today, almost every large company is standardizing its business processes on ERP systems. ERP automates the tasks involved in performing a business process-such as order fulfilment, which involves taking an order from a customer, shipping it, and billing for it. It is the solution for the better project management. Expert Systems are computer systems or programs that use artificial intelligence techniques to solve problems that ordinarily require a knowledgeable human. The method used to construct such systems, knowledge engineering, extracts a set of rules and data from an expert or several experts through extensive questioning. Expert systems imitate human experts in many different fields of expertise. Such systems contain rules that help a common individual answer expert question. Expert systems are designed to be ‘expert’ only in a very narrow and specific task or subject field. They contain the acquired expert knowledge and try to imitate the expert’s evaluation processes to offer a conclusion.

INTRODUCTION ERP systems promise to provide an integrated application environment with fast and seamless access to single unified information business-wise, thus representing a catalyst for business process change. An international research organization, Gartner, has declared that ERP will become the basic infrastructure to run a business enterprise. Therefore, many organizations are currently considering these systems as the IT platform capable of enabling the shift to an integrated and process-oriented business design. ERP has been widely adopted globally, initially by consumer products and industrial and distribution companies and recently by utilities, insurance companies, banks, and even governments and universities.
ERP is a fully integrated business management system covering logistics (materials, production, sales and distribution, plant maintenance, quality management, project management, production planning, etc.), accounting (finance and controlling), and human resources, while incorporating industry-specific solutions and best business practices worldwide. Whenever data are entered into the system, these are processed and stored immediately, and thus they provide realtime, online information for decision making or analysis.
